Via Anya Kamenetz at Fast Company, a story that is impressive, inspiring and just a bit insane:

Cognitive scientist Deb Roy blew the curve for Flip cam-packing proud pops. Since he and his wife brought their son home from the hospital, Roy has captured his every movement and word with a series of fisheye-lens cameras installed in every room. The purpose was to understand how we learn language.

In this one-of-a-kind study, Roy accumulated invaluable data that promise to greatly improve our understanding of language acquisition. By learning how a “normal” child learns how to speak, we can help children who struggle with language due to autism, apraxia, or auditory processing disorders. This is an amazing gift to children, parents, and speech therapists everywhere.

That one day, we will all hold hands and D A N C E in heaven, like birds on trees, being moved by the warm magnolia breeze, like purple annuals and yellow perennials growing in the same garden of love.
